I finally found out what that circular piece of yellow plastic with the handle that came with it is for ... it's to wind on the bloody plastic line !! Just as well I didn't throw it away ! It was always a pain winding the line before now it will be so much easier. Anway, well done Tim, you now have a new subscriber.

    After years of frustration with the old style line trimmers bought the same Ryobi line trimmer as in this video and also the Ryobi lawn edger. Edger had the 4.0mah battery and chargers, trimmer was skin only. Cannot believe after 3/4 hour trimming have not had to touch the line. The old school ones I had here you’d be lucky to get a few feet done before stopping to re feed line. Thanks for your tips about using tip of the line.

Thank you for explaining how to change out the line - others do it so fast that I don't see it very well. And not all workers are helpful.

    I have also have a Ryobi 2 stroke line trimmer (7-8 years now) and mine always starts easily with 4 to 6 pulls cold. Once or twice a year it takes about 3 million, that's when I think I should go battery. But my yards far too big regarding battery run time.

    Thanks for a really detailed video mate. I’ve downsized properties over the years, and keeping my 2stroke line trimmer serviced etc has become a pain, especially as my mower is 4 stroke, so I’ve got to keep different fuels as well… Will definitely look at the ryobi as a replacement option now. I always keep on top of my edges, so certainly don’t need commercial-type power. Good stuff, and yes, yes, yes on eye protection, every. single. time!!!

    My old 2 stroke needed the carb rebuilding last year, like you my mower is 4 stroke - and moved to an electric chainsaw some years ago when I melted the piston on my 2 stroke - so I thought "f*ck this, I'm going full electric" - after doing some research I decided the 18v Ryobi, same model he uses here, would do for me (I already have a huge pile of Ryobi stuff so just needed the skin) - no regrets, it's a great tool for my property (around 800 sq. meters but mostly taken up with pool and deck - all of which needs edging regularly though) - anyway I would say go for it, it's a very capable and great quality tool for the price.

My advice to any buyer is watch this channel first and get it right the first time. Well done for the coverage. I am now better equipped to at least thread the spool correctly.
